Back to California - Song.a.Day

I've been feelin' down in Atlanta

Immobile in Alabama

I'd rather be in traction

Than to be here where I am

Oh, you Georgia red clay

And green Virginia pines

I've got to make it home somehow

Before I lose my mind

Hey now, Philly, you street city

Been down by the railroad track

I know you can be a sweet city

But I won't soon be back

Haystack towns and smokestack cities

Are nothin' I want to see

My own house on high ground

Is the only place I want to be

So won't you carry me back to California

I've been on the road too long

Take me to the west coast, daddy

And let me be where I belong.

-Back to California by Carole King

I love Carole King. She has got amazing chops, killer songwriting skills, a gorgeous voice, and she played my favorite character on the Gilmore Girls.

And this song contains pretty much everything you need to know about the United States. California is the best. Now, why King lives in Idaho... I do not know. Well, actually she loves her Rockies. I have absolutely no quarrel with that.
